SDF Guides

Public guides for understanding SDF, the SDF CLI, the installed front door, what the product does not replace, and when to start readiness.

These guides explain the public model. Install, security, storage, and customer-specific details belong in private technical review.

From education to offer path

Learn the model, then start readiness.

The guides explain SDF concepts and boundaries. When you are comparing the offer, the next useful step is readiness.

1

Learn the model

Understand where SDF fits around AI tools, review, evidence, the SDF CLI command loop, and human judgement.

2

Check readiness

Qualify fit and decide whether a paid assessment is worthwhile.

Go deeper

Use the assessment journey when you need the full path from Assessment to First Governed Change to Team Operating Model.

Private review topics

Some details should stay customer-specific.

Public guides can explain the category and the fit. Technical review handles details that depend on the customer's environment, controls, and approval model.

Handled during technical review

  • customer-specific environment fit
  • installation, rollback, and removal details
  • storage, retention, and security review
  • team-specific guardrail mapping
  • approved tool and access boundaries

Current public boundaries

  • no automatic approval, merge, deploy, or repair
  • no central policy enforcement claim
  • no model routing enforcement claim
  • no hosted scanning or compliance certification claim
  • no correctness, security, or production-readiness guarantee
